Regional powers and regional orders (2011)

Zusammenfassung

Regional Powers and Regional Orders presents a re-examination and
re-conceptualization of the concept of 'region' and its function within
power and order systems. Utilising a comparative and case study
approach, the volume examines 'new' regional powers such as Brazil,
China, India, Russia and South Africa. These territories as regional
powers are novel phenomenon in the field of international politics and
even more so in the field of international relations. The book focuses
on the emerging role of these new regional powers within their
respective region, and asks how other members of these regions cope with
and react to that role. Regional Powers and Regional Orders will be of
interest to students and scholars of international and regional politics
and power, and international relations.
